Here's a video of Steve Jobs showcasing a new feature in iTunes... podcasts!
"You could try to sell podcasts but the whole phenomenon is so great - it's free. And I think what we're going to see is an advertising-supported model emerge, just like free radio."
Apparently the term 'podcast' is a portmanteau of 'iPod' and 'broadcasting'. Here, Steve picks the latest episode from the Adam Curry Podcast and is quick to hit the stop button. 😆
Speaking of podcasts, Poetry Unbound is a lovely relaxing listen. It's a gateway into poetry for those that haven't yet found an appreciation for it and an audio-booster for those that already enjoy poetry.
Can't remember who it was on here who recommended #Radiolab podcast to me, but once again, thankyou 🙏!
This piece on the old-new or perhaps new-old fight against antibiotic resistance is awesome.
An episode about the republic and the men and women who built it. Also, if you're interested in podcasts related to Indian society, public policy etc., this is a great podcast series. (In Hindi)
